After all these years in fashion, now when I see the bag supposed to be the trend of the moment
in magazines, I sometimes feel like going back to basics. I mean to what has been around forever and
inspired many designers. Back to beautiful and simple items that have gone out of fashion. It can be a
garment or a bag like the ones I found in the so aptly named de TOUJOURS. So in this letter, I wanted to
tell you about leather bags, shopping bags, baskets... take a look, they are all beautiful, simple and high
quality
|

Just a glance at the photos of this cartridge bag found at de TOUJOURS, and you instinctively know that
it will age wonderfully well: the leather is beautiful, the details magnificent. It's nice to put things in
and they're easy to find. As everything is related, the founder of this brand is called Isabelle Crampes
and she lives in Marseille ... Marseille, where there is currently an exhibition at the Mucem that I really
wanted to see: Vêtements Modèles which precisely deals with work clothes, a real heritage. And the
curator of this exhibition is none other than... Isabelle Crampes ! Another good reason to go to
Marseille !

Quite simply ! |
 |

Perfect finish |

Ultra handy |

Last year, I told you about these young people who created the leather goods brand RSVP, well I was
right because from now on, they are a huge hit and have just opened a new store 133, rue Vieille du
Temple. For me, the “milkman” is already cult: it is simple and the leather is beautiful. I’ve got it in
brown and it will no doubt get a nice patina. And ultimate chic : the models are numbered like works of
art!

Here is a bag that I really like in my shop, especially for its red color ! Well, apparently I'm not the only
one, since he's on the "waiting list" !

 |
|
Red Box, very simply |

Right, not old enough for glasses’ chain and yet we spend our life looking for them ? Well here is the solution: it's beautiful, sober, soft & you can even offer a black one to your Denis who also tends to
forget his in the bathroom (by the end of the year you'll know everything about him !).

|
Mine is in natural leather |

|
Del’ep did it ! |

A very beautiful vegetal tanned leather, a refined style and on top of that a good cause! No more plastic
teamed up with the Italian brand Officina Del Poggio to design a bottle bag (and its refillable stainless
steel bottle) to encourage you to stop using plastic bottles. 100% of the profits from the sale are
donated to the No more plastic foundation which, as its name suggests, works against the use of
disposable plastic. Both a nice and very responsible idea !

As blue as the ocean |

Adopted ! |
 |

Mmhhhh in natural leather ! |

In another more “girly” style, Roger Vivier imagined a bag just for your phone. Leather certainly, yet
with rhinestones!
|
 |
|
Surely girly ! |

You know I do love baskets and have a slight tendency to buy all shapes and sizes. But sometimes, the small ones are not very handy and in the end I don't use them. The other day, I ran into my friend
Véronique V. who found a solution by just putting on a big leather lace. Brilliant! She matches it
according to her outfits. In fact, she ‘s got another basket with a light lace. Let’s copy her?!
|
 |
|
Awesome, right ? |
 |
|
Much easier to wear ! |

Tote bags are everywhere in all colors and shapes, and those from Les Pensionnaires are very beautiful
because they are very simple. The finishes are perfect, the fabric is of high quality and the dimensions
are ideal. Plus they come in khaki which is as you know, the color that I love right now. Do not hesitate
to visit the site, you will see very nice kits, also very simple and houseold linen without fuss but in
lovely colors.

Dinky is also very demanding when it comes to bags ... He suddenly set his sights on this bag found at
Flair in the City, his favorite concept store. I admithe has good taste because once again this bag is very
simple and well finished. Well, fortunately (especially for me and my back) Mosca prefers collars and
leashes. And his choice is of quality too because his favorite model allows you to hold him on a leash
with your hands free, then it is made of rope and leather, so very chic ! I think my friend Jeanne is
totally convinced!
|
 |
|
Happy !
|
 |
|
Uh... please get out Dinky |
|
|
 |
|
Chic and usefull for Mosca |
 |
|
Hands-free accessories !

As you may or may not know, you can receive every month the Ines box set which is made up of a
selection of accessories that I carefully choose for you. In the next set, for example, I chose accessories
from the Olfa Perbal brand. Of course, I leave you the surprise but in the meantime, you can take a look
at their website where you will discover their exceptional massage techniques and perhaps it will
make you want to drop by their institute. For the November box set, it will be a scarf from a brand that
I am very fond of and a beauty product that should give you a healthy glow this winter. Finally, if you
want to know even more, don't hesitate to subscribe to my box... Okay, I do a bit of self-advertising, but
every once in a while, I am allowed to, aren’t I ? I wish you a very nice week and will see you next
Thursday !
